FOSTER WITH US

  • Fostering increases an animal’s chance of getting adopted through socialization and knowledge of personality and needs. Shelters are stressful! Housing them in a home environment allows them to experience love and comfort while waiting for their forever home.

  • All necessary pet supplies such as food, bowls, crates, toys, etc. as well as all medical and vetting costs are provided by CCAR. As a foster, you must provide your time and transportation to various events and appointments.


    • Basic training & socialization

    • Foster animal safety

    • Patience

    • Attending events

    • Coordinating meet and greets

    • Submitting up-to-date photos and bios

  • Foster animals often have unknown medical histories, and not ALL animals can be examined first. We recommend that you keep, resident animals UTD on vaccines and flea and tick prevention.

    All foster animals should be kept separate for a minimum of 5-10 days.

  • Yes! You get to choose which animal you foster based on your preferences, abilities, and comfort level.

Standard Foster Home Criteria
